    Spoilers for all episodes of Temptation Island season 2 ahead. Last year, Netflix's Temptation Island joined Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum in the streaming giant's roster of psychological torture—I mean, can't-miss dating shows. The reality show's revival quickly topped the Netflix charts, as longtime host Mark L. Walberg returned to guide four shaky couples through "the ultimate test of temptation:" spend several weeks living in gender-separated houses with dozens of sexy singles, and see if your relationship can last. (Unsurprisingly, season 1's success rate wasn't great.)

    Out on April 10, Temptation Island's second season follows four new couples with different levels of trust issues as they test whether grass is greener on the other side. Will this year's men approach the chaos of Brion and Grant? Will host Mark once again have us all in the feels? Below, read on for everything to know about the couples, tempters, and temptresses of Temptation Island season 2.

    Who are the couples of 'Temptation Island' season 2?

    Summit's Instagram: @summitwallace

    Fashion influencer Kaylee, 24, and fitness coach Summit, 25, dated for a year before arriving on Temptation Island. The pair describe themselves as complete opposites; while Kaylee craves stability and commitment, spontaneous thrill-seeker Summit wants to be "very sure" before settling down. The couple didn't set any rules for themselves ahead of the experience, so they could take the time to figure out what they want out of a relationship.

    Mikey's Instagram: @jussmikey

    24-year-olds Sydney and Mikey have been together for a year and a half, after the aesthetician and the live-event host met in college. Sydney is ready for Mikey, a self-described former "player," to grow up and have "emotionally uncomfortable" conversations. While Sydney's looking for Mikey to back up his words with actions, Mikey's afraid that she'll be the one to cheat. Her take? "I’m loyal, but I know my boundaries, so if something happens that breaks that trust, I won’t hesitate to move on."

    Did They Leave Temptation Island Together? No, Sydney left Temptation Island with Xzavier.

    Cole's Instagram: @colemueller8

    Marketing whiz Scarlett, 29, and real-estate agent Cole, 27, have spent two years building a life together, from collaborating on projects to going on runs and hitting the gym. Their trust issues stem from Cole's habit of telling small lies to avoid confrontation. As they head into Temptation Island with strict rules ("Nothing physical with the singles. No cheating. Have fun but be respectful."), the pair hopes to strengthen their communication and repair that trust.

    Did They Leave Temptation Island Together? No, Scarlett and Cole each left Temptation Island alone.

    Shyanne and Jack

    Shyanne's Instagram: @shyanne.blankenship

    Jack's Instagram: @jackk.mason

    Entrepreneurs Jack, 25, and Shyanne, 23, first got together in high school; five years later, Shyanne describes Jack as her "first great love and first big heartbreak." Though Shyanne forgave Jack after he cheated three years ago, the trust never seemed to be fully repaired—especially since Shyanne found out about the infidelity by snooping in his phone. The couple hopes to move on and be loyal to each other, but Shyanne admits that it'll be a "miracle" if they can make it past temptation.

    Did They Leave Temptation Island Together? No, Shyanne and Jack each left Temptation Island alone.
